Then, after working for a time for a charity in Cheshire, he retrained once again, this time as a teacher of English as a foreign language. He can trace his opera-going to a performance of The Mikado in 1970 and his concert-going to a “family concert” given by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra a year or so later. He has been attending concerts and operas enthusiastically ever since. He now frequents many concert halls and theatres in the North West of England with occasional trips further afield.https://bachtrack.com/files/32587-olena_tokar_dorothee_falke_resized.jpg300456Olena TokarDorothee Falke2016-Jan-01, Bridgewater Hall: Manchester Camerata's New Year's Day Viennesehttps://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/bridgewater-hall/manchester-cameratas-new-years-day-viennese/01-january-2016/15-002016-01-012016-01-01Bridgewater HallManchesterNorth-WestUnited KingdomM2 3WS53.4751551793172-2.246017456054694
